Hi
As most of you know, the audio package on Linux is buggy due to the very bad official implementation of OpenAL.
I finally tested openal-soft, which is a free implementation of OpenAL and promises to be more stable than the official one. After a few tests, I can say that it works 100%, no more bug or jerky sound.
What's new now :- On Windows, there's no more need to install OpenAL with oalinst.exe, a copy of openal32.dll will be enough.
- On Linux, as openal-soft is not yet widely supported on the repositories, you will most likely have to compile it yourself. The good news is that as a compliant implementation of OpenAL, you won't have to recompile SFML nor your programs using it, just replacing the binaries will do the job. I think I'll put a version of the precompiled binaries in the next Linux SDK, it will be more convenient for most people
